FAKE NEWS: Media declares 'boogaloo' a fringe term used by hate groups in dual attack on the First and Second Amendments
DeepClips ^

Posted on 02/21/2020 5:39:24 PM PST by MassMinuteman

Relying heavily on a report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), NBC News published this article Thursday that defines ‘boogaloo’ as a fringe term used by an “anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement.”

It breathlessly warns that the “new and discreet” term has moved from the “fringes of the internet into the mainstream” — they're scared, and you should be too.

Forget if you can that the article (quite revealingly) equates “anti-government” to “pro-Second Amendment,” and let's just focus on what has to be the underlying message: words equal violence.

After all, there isn't a single violent incident referenced in the entire piece. There are several references to potential violence. There are plenty of innuendos about racist threats and white supremacy. But why was it so hard for NBC News to find an actual example of violence? What about that scary Virginia rally?

This is just another example in a long line of labels the media slaps on conservatives or free-thinkers. Unfortunately, it's more effective than it should be. The masses eventually buy into the label and are successfully divided away from whatever movement or cause the media was targeting.

Saying “ Gone With The Wind “ is a great movie gets you in trouble with the -ist and -phobia police.

They are trying to “regain” the total thought control they falsely believe they used to have.

I first read about this term as Left speak. Now, it’s been switched apparently.

Great. Now I have to get rid of my Electric Boogaloo video tapes before my house is raided. Can’t risk having incriminating evidence when the police breakdown the door.

I still have yet to hear a single human being utter the word “boogaloo” for at least 20 years. It appears in articles such as this, and that’s about it. Mature adults just don’t talk that way. Even the kooks who constantly harp that “CWII is coming!” don’t use the word. It sounds like something Robert Downey Jr’s character in Tropic Thunder, “Kirk Lazarus” would use. Never go full boogaloo.

Maybe I just hang with the right crowd...

Here’s a clue for the projectors that are the MSM. We don’t need imaginary code words to express what we mean. That is their speciality. If this country ever makes the mistake to give control to those wishing to silence conservatives they won’t need a made up word. War is what it will be called us as we wage it. Simple.

That song and Breakin’2 are the only contexts in which I have ever heard the term, and I’m not even sure they are spelled the same.

WHich is of course, silly. It's a great movie for many reasons. Scarlett is insane. THere's the sweep of history. It's one of the first Hollywood color epics. It's grand in some sense the way the more modern Dr. Zhivago is.

You know, that is why I like the movie Cleopatra with LIz Taylor...yeah, it got panned, but the scene with the entry of Cleoptra into Rome is worth the price of admission right there... They just don’t make those great movies anymore...and a great movie is one that has an intermission, as well as the Overture...an event! Popcorn time!
